Several political parties and media organizations have condemned the act by tourism and Christian religious affairs minister John Amaratunga in which he attempted to assault a HIRU reporter by threatening and scolding him in abusive language yesterday.

Joint Opposition Convener MP Prasanna Ranatunga says in a statement that it is surprising to note why representatives of civil organizations who clamoured over alleged threats on media freedom during the Rajapaksa regime are now tight-lipped over threats to media freedom.
